AFFIRMATIVE FAIR HOUSING MARKETING PLAN
STATEMENT OF POLICY
The City of Inglewood is committed to the goals of non-discrimination and equal access
and increasing the housing opportunities of low-income residents and under-
represented ethnic and racial groups. In furtherance of the City’s commitment to non-
discrimination and equal opportunity in housing and in accordance with the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) (24 CFR 570.601) and HOME Investment
Partnership Act (HOME) (24 CFR 92.351) Program regulations, the City has established
the following procedures to affirmatively market housing units acquired, constructed,
rehabilitated or otherwise assisted under the HOME and/or CDBG programs.
As the responsible HUD participating jurisdiction, the City must implement this
Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan and all owners, developers, Community
Housing Development Organizations and other nonprofits shall comply with this plan for
all CDBG and/or HOME funded housing developments within the City of Inglewood.
CDBG and/or HOME housing developments are held to the terms of the plan by
reference of this plan in the agreement with the City for receipt of CDBG and/or HOME
funds.
It is the Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan of the City of Inglewood to assure that
individuals who might not normally apply for available housing units because they are
socially or economically disadvantaged:
1. Be informed of available units
2. Be encouraged to apply
3. Have equal opportunity to own/rent their own units.
Affirmative marketing steps consist of actions to provide information and otherwise
attract eligible persons in the housing market to the available housing without regard to:
race, color, national origin, sex, religion, familial status, disability, ethnicity or sexual
preference. The City of Inglewood’s affirmative fair housing marketing procedures are
as follows:

3. RENTAL HOUSING, HOMEBUYER AND HOMEOWNER PROGRAMS:
The City will require nonprofit organizations (or subrecipients) of housing projects
with five (5) or more HOME rental assisted units, or single-family homebuyer
units, to use affirmative fair housing marketing practices in soliciting renters or
buyers, in determining their eligibility, and concluding all transactions.
Subrecipients must comply with the following procedures for the duration of the

availability of funds for each service.

The City has established the following methods subrecipients may use in
order to reach this objective:
• Positioning of Informational Flyers: Targeting specific populations (seniors,
disabled persons, homeless, etc) for the distribution of informational flyers
may provide an acceptable level of information dissemination.
Page 4 of 7

57.

Today, La Opinión or El Sol de California.

The City shall, on an annual basis as part of its annual performance report to HUD,
review compliance with the City’s Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan and
consult with the property owners about any required improvements to fair housing
marketing programs.
The City will examine whether or not persons from a variety of racial and ethnic
groups in the City applied for or became tenants of units that were affirmatively
marketed. If the City finds that a variety of ethnic groups are represented, the City
will assume that the affirmative marketing procedures were effective. If one or more
groups are not represented consistent with their representation in the City or there is
an overrepresentation of particular groups, the City will review its procedures to
determine what changes, if any, might be made to make the affirmative marketing
efforts more effective.

6. ASSESSMENT OF AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING EFFORTS:

efforts have been made and identify any corrective action that may be necessary.
A. Timing of Assessment Activities: The City shall complete a written
assessment of Affirmative Fair Marketing efforts no later than November 15th
of every year and report results in the annual performance report to HUD. The
assessment will cover marketing relative to when the units first made
available for occupancy during the program year. The assessment will be
made for projects/contracts with five (5) or more CDBG and/or HOME
assisted units
B. Basis of Assessment: The City of Inglewood will assess the affirmative
marketing efforts of the subrecipient by comparing predetermined occupancy
goals (based upon the area from which potential tenants will come) with
actual occupancy data that the subrecipient is required to maintain. Outreach
efforts on the part of the subrecipient will also be evaluated by reviewing
marketing efforts. Corrective action will be required of project sponsors if
affirmative marketing requirements are not followed. Failure to adhere to
Affirmative Marketing requirements will result in a subrecipient being
prohibited from further funding and participation in the HOME Program.

59.
Attachment C
7. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS THAT WILL BE TAKEN WHEN AFFIRMATIVE
MARKETING REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT MET
The City of Inglewood will take corrective action if it is determined that an agency
has failed to carry out affirmative marketing efforts as required by the City’s
agreement. The City, prior to taking any corrective action, will discuss with the
agency ways to improve affirmative marketing efforts. Initially, the City will put
the agency on notice and provide a reasonable time period to establish written
procedures for future use. If an agency, after receiving fair warning and an
opportunity to correct identified deficiencies, continues to neglect the
responsibilities made incumbent by the terms of the participation agreement, the
City will consider the following action:
Declaring the nonprofit agency non-responsive and disqualified from any further
assistance made available under the HOME/CDBG Programs.
